"Pick up the gun"
Every day, we learn more about how “the good guys” wage war against evil. The latest tactic—disclosed during a military trial—is a little something called the “baiting program” and it was cooked by a group of humans collectively known the “the Asymmetrical Warfare Group.” As reported in the New York Times, US snipers in Iraq are “using fake weapons and bomb-making material as bait and then killing anyone who picks them up.”
“Snipers are special people who are trained to shoot in a detached fashion, not to see their targets as human beings,” said James D. Culp, one of the defendant’s lawyers. “Snipers have split seconds to take shots, and he had a split second to decide whether to shoot.”
We interrupt this article for a short Aldous Huxley break: “The propagandist’s purpose is to make one set of people forget that certain other sets of people are human.”
